“If you gave this book to any baby witch, you would be giving them probably one of the best books available. Sam Wise understood the assignment.” Thanks so much to Planets in Gatorade for the video review of Witchcraft for Everyone!

Rethinking How Paganism Engages Culture
There’s a common sentiment in the greater pagan community that, “You don’t choose who calls you.” Most pagans are converts (meaning they weren’t raised in the faith they practice now), and many of us feel that we were called by the gods to our current faith.

Witchcraft and Activism (Baby Witch Bootcamp Ch. 35)
The word “witch” is a politically charged label. If we look at how the word was used historically, it referred to someone who existed outside of the normal social order.

Some alternative healing modalities, like herbal supplements, crystals, and essential oils, are incredibly…

Conjuring Dark Spirits (Baby Witch Bootcamp Ch. 29)
When I made my post about the types of spirits witches are likely to encounter, I got some comments saying that it was wrong of me to discourage baby witches from reaching out to demons. On the other hand, I’ve recently been getting a lot of hate comments on my YouTube channel accusing me of…

Curses and Hexes (Baby Witch Bootcamp Ep. 28)
Cursing is one of the most ancient forms of magic — and one of the most controversial. Whereas most magic is constructive (used to manifest or attract things), cursing is destructive (used to cause misfortune or harm). Technically speaking, curses and hexes are similar but different types of spells. A curse consists of written or…
